You have about 48 hours (max.) to return them, in order to get the Results into the

Unless the Client expires, you'll indeed always get credit in the Stats, but cacheing too
long makes the Results useless
Absolute max. I would stive for is less than a week, e.g. 3-4 days.

Hold on here....  48 hours before becoming invalid?  Then how can you
simultaneously suggest a three or four day cache?  That seems
logically inconsistent, because every one of those units would be
worthless.  

Your assertion about the 48 hour liimit to get into the scientific
database is a bit hard to believe, because a lot of people are still
running machines that take that long to do a single unit.  If these
are all invalid that effort is utterly pointless and a waste of their
time, electricity, and all the work unit management effort at SETI
that supports these users.
